Debido al aviso de extremo frío emitido por el Servicio Climatológico Nacional, todas las escuelas de RUSD estarán cerradas mañana, martes, 21 de enero.
Este día se repondrá el lunes, 17 de febrero en lugar del día de descanso programado.

Thank you for your understanding and stay warm.



Tonight, the RUSD Board of Education approved placing a referendum on the April 1 ballot. The proposed 5-year, $190 million non-recurring referendum would:
- Prevent cutting programs like the Academies of Racine and protect smaller class sizes
- Attract and retain excellent teachers and staff who are essential for delivering high-quality education
- Invest in the safety and security of our schools
This referendum is needed because for more than a decade state funding has fallen short, and more and more districts are forced to pass referendums to balance budgets. Want to know more? Visit www.rusd.org/referendum.
-----
Esta tarde la Mesa Directiva de Educación de RUSD aprobó incluir un referendo en la boleta de votación del 1 de abril. El referendo presentado es por 5 años y $190 millones, no recurrente, y serviría para:
- Prevenir el recorte de programas como las Academias de Racine y proteger el tamaño de los salones
- Atraer y retener maestros y personal de excelente calidad quienes son esenciales para dar una educación de alta calidad
- Invertir en la seguridad y protección de nuestras escuelas.
Este referendo se necesita porque por más de una década, el financiamiento estatal se ha quedado corto y más y más distritos se ven obligados a pasar un referendo para balancear sus presupuestos. ¿Quiere saber más? Viste www.rusd.org/referendum.


See you next year!

A combination of snow and wind will hit our area right in the heart of after-school bussing today, likely creating slick roads and reduced visibility. Our bus drivers will be cautious (as always) but please know students may be late arriving home.
